Zucchini-Crusted Pizza
Produce of the week Summer Squash and Zucchini What to look for: Small, young squash that are heavy for their size. Choose those that are firm to the touch. Avoid those that are soft or show decay. To Prepare: Both Zucchini and Summer Squash can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw: Wash gently in cold water, trim both ends, then slice or cut into cubes and add to salads. Zucchini is good sliced and served on vegetable trays with dip.

Cooked: Prepare the same as above then stir-fry, steam, or grill. Both are a good addition to a grilled meal and mixes well with other grilled vegetables. Because of the high water content, neither should be overcooked as they will fall apart. Zucchini is good in soups. Summer squash can be substituted for eggplant or carrots. Baked: Summer squash and zucchini do not stand up to prolonged baking, but chopped or shredded zucchini is often added to breads and muffin to make a healthy treat. To Store: Store in the refrigerator. Use within 3-5 days To Freeze: Slice in 1- inch pieces. Blanch for 3 minutes. Store in a freezer safe container.
